    Yeh I think river check is fine, turn probably a lead though for like 1/3 pot since he can he can continue with tonnes of shit and probably won't start bluffing now and we'll stack everything he's betting at some point anyway etc.

    why?

    what hands do you think call a river lead?

    which of those hands don't bet themselves?

    If he has A2, do you think he'll raise the river?

    If he has A2, do you think he'll fold to a check raise?

    Qx, Any A, KK (although unlikely as played), and if it is a low buy in tournament you can get a call from 8x, 66, 99-JJ (JJ probably unlikely)

    Qx, weak aces may check knowing they are likely not getting called by worse, 8x, 99-JJ, KK

    I would say 60-70% likely

    probably not given the stack sizes

    you think A2 raises the river 60%+, but Ax doesn't bet sometimes ? I do not understand. I think Ax checks 0%.

    All of the hands you listed to call a bet are substantially less likely than him having nothing. Since Ax bets anyway, is never folding, but may flat, checking is better. He has Qx rarely and those other hands are going to be terrified when you lead the river. It looks exactly like you've slow played Ax.

    If we had 8s/6s full it would be close since he has so many more Qx combos, but not with Qs full. I would still prefer a check because I think there is a decent chance weak Ax will just call, but I don't think they can fold to a c/r.

    I think weak aces will sometimes check behind (probably 30% of the time) and sometimes bet, Hero's line may be interpreted as either slowplayed A or a hand without an Ace that picked up some sort of draw on the flop and called, then lead out on the river when missed, it would be tough for villian to put hero on an A after checking the flop and turn

    The line of check/calling flop and turn and checking river, makes him think that I could have sth like Qx or KK, JJ, TT, hands I will fold facing an all in whatever he has.

    I would stop worrying Ax will check behind, but even if you are correct, you still make a lot more since 70% of the time when they do bet, you get to check raise them.
